1The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
1KE Mele o na mele, na Solomona no ia,
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.
2E honi mai ia'u i na honi o kona waha; No ka mea, ua oi aku kou aloha i ka waina.
3Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.
3No ke ala o kou mea poni maikai, Ua like kou inoa me ka aila ala i nininiia; No ia mea, ua aloha mai na kaikamahine ia oe.
4Take me away with you. Let’s hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! They are right to love you.
4E ume mai ia'u, e hahai makou mamuli ou. Ua hookomo mai ke alii ia'u iloko o kona keena; E hauoli makou, a e olioli hoi ia oe; E hoomanao makou i kou aloha mamua o ka waina; Ua aloha aku ka poe pono ia oe.
5I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.
5Ua eleele au, ua maikai no nae, E na kaikamahine o Ierusalema; E like me na halelewa o Kedara, E like hoi me na paku lole o Solomona.
6Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.
6Mai nana mai oukou ia'u, no ka mea, ua eleele au, No ka nana ana mai o ka la ia'u. Ua huhu mai ia'u na keiki a ko'u makuwahine, Ua hoolilo mai lakou ia'u i mea kiai i na malawaina; Aka hoi, o ka'u malawaina, aole au i malama.
7Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; for why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?
7E hai mai ia'u, e ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i, Aila ihea oe i hanai mai. Mahea la oe i hoomaha ai i ke awakea? No ke aha la wau i lilo ai, Me ho wahine la i uhiia, Ma na poe hipa a kou mau hoanoho?
8If you don’t know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.
8Ina, aole oe i ike, E ka mea maikai mawaena o na wahine, E hele oe ma na kapuwai o ka poe hipa, E hanai i kau poe kao keiki, Ma kahi kokoke i na halelewa o ka poe kahuhipa.
9I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
9Ua hoohalike au ia oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, Me he lio wahine la iloko o na kaa o Parao.
10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
10Ua hoonaniia kou papalina i na kaula momi, A o kou a-i i na lei maikai.
11We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver.
11E hana makou nou i na kaula gula, A me na kaula hoi i paukuia i ke kala.
12While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
12I ka noho pu ana o ke alii me kona poe, Ua moani aku la ko'u mea ala.
13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.
13O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he pua mura no ia na'u, E moe iho la ia mawaena o ko'u poli.
14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
14O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he lala kupero ia na'u, No ka malawaina mai o Enegedi.
15Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves.
15Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, He nani kou, he mau maka manu nunu kou.
16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant.
16Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, he maikai hoi; Ua omaomao no hoi ko kaua wahi moe.
17The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
17Na kaola o ko kaua hale, he laau kedera ia, A me ko kaua mau oa, he laau fira.
